We are 60 days out from the College football season, and the midpoint of that countdown centers around conference media days.

SEC Football Media Days are July 14-17 (Monday-Thursday) at Omni Atlanta Hotel at Centennial Park and The College Football Hall of Fame.

Auburn coach Hugh Freeze will speak on day two of the event alongside Kirby Smart, Josh Heupel and Steve Sarkisian.

For Auburn, this year is important as Freeze looks to give Auburn its first winning season since going 6-5 in 2020. With a roster built to compete in the SEC, the results must translate this fall.

Here’s five burning questions that still need answers across the Tigers roster ahead of SEC Media Day:

Will Deuce Knight see the field against SEC opponents?

Freeze reiterated all offseason that Jackson Arnold will be the starting quarterback for Auburn this fall. However, with a talent like Deuce Knight it’s hard to imagine him sitting the bench the entire season.

The chances of fans seeing Knight in the season opener at Baylor are rare. But the next three out of conference games will make for opportunity to possibly get playing time.

Last season we saw Hank Brown play one half of a conference game. Walker White got zero SEC snaps, leading to him transferring. If things take on a repeat of last season, Knight very well may be under center at some point.

Who is the solidified starting tight end heading into fall camp?

After losing Rivaldo Fairweather last season, Auburn’s tight end room has some uncertainty heading into fall camp.

Brandon Fraizer is returning from a foot injury that sidelined him for majority of last season. He’ll compete with transfer addition Preston Howard as the two pass catching tight ends.

Former offensive lineman Tate Johnson switched to tight end over the offseason, as Auburn plans to use him for blocking purposes. With the number of bodies at this position, this will be one of several positions to rotate players all season long.

Which freshman safety has the best chances of playing this season?

Young talents like Sylvester Smith and Kaleb Harris stepped up huge in Auburn’s secondary last season.

Now Auburn brings in highly touted prospects like AnQuon Fegans and Eric Winters at that same position, it will be interesting to see how that position group develops throughout the year.

Both Fegans and Winters showed promise during Auburn’s spring football period, intercepting passes against the first team offense.

Who will be the starting kicker?

Last season Auburn’s kicking was up and down, dealing with Alex McPherson’s illness and utilizing two first-year kickers.

After Ian Vachon announced his plans to transfer in the spring, Auburn will look to McPherson and Southern Miss. transfer Conner Gibbs in that position.

If McPherson is unable to kick again, Gibbs has the college experience to succeed at Auburn. It also provides more veteran mentorship for returning sophomore Towns McGough.

Which wide receiver has the best chance to reach 1,000 yards?

This has been a revolving question for Auburn fans in the last 25 years.

With Cam Coleman entering the season as one of the top wide receivers in the conference, he has high hopes of reaching that mark for the Tigers.

Breaking down the talent in the room, not having a 1,000-yard receiver won’t necessarily be a failure for Auburn either.

Having guys like Eric Singleton, Horatio Fields, Perry Thompson and Malcom Simmons. Auburn could spread the ball around evenly and easily have multiple receivers with 500 or more yards this fall.
